| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @sls883 @mattw73 I guess the problems lies in the pickiness I have imposed on the gears and different expectation of the term 'layering.' In my book the term 'layering' includes the followings: 1) Depth - front-to-back placement of sounds; e.g.,... | |
| Power Supply Upgrade for Bluesound Nano Lhy 15VA LPS 5V. I own one and I could hear sonic improvement over ifi ipower 2 (for Schiit Dac). | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @sls883 @mattw73 So far, I’ve accumulated 60 hours of listening and 40 hours of power-on time (operating at 104°F), in addition to the 100 hours of factory burn-in. Similar to my previous experience with the Gustard R26, I conducted a group, non... | |
| Best RCA Digicable Most consumer audio products adhere to established standards when designing digital interfaces and connections. Specifically, the impedance specifications for cables and connectors are 75 ohms for S/PDIF and 110 ohms for AES3 . Using cables or con... | |
| All-in-One (Streamer/DAC/Amp) - Powernode vs WiiM amps +1 Wiim BUT there are choices bet. Wiim Amp vs Wiim Amp Pro. Sorry about double posting if you were aware of the following differences. - Pro has 10dB higher THD+N ratio than non-Pro (higher is better); - Pro has incorp. PFFB (Post filter feedba... | |
| Make speakers disappear. Simple, cheap I have white speakers. Should I paint them black too? Can I have speakers painted to match the walls instead?? I am thinking painting all equipment including rack to match the walls and make them ALL disappeared to make my wife happier. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @sls883 Is it the R30? I believe the prototype has been demoed at some shows. If it's what I think it is, this would be the R2R version of the X30, replicating its features—such as the OCXO clock, relay-based R2R volume control, built-in linear p... | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @sls883 The plan for the clock will depend on whether I purchase the Gustard. At this point, I'm leaning toward the X30. The X26 III is only marginally better than the D90 III Discrete, which I've kept for my second system. The µDAC is still u... | |
| Bluesound node 2024 vs Cambridge Audio AXN 10 +1 CA for sure price wise. In terms of SQ, only most recent Nano and Icon from BS could compete based on the numerous reviews. | |
| Just about to pull the trigger on Pontus 15th ... @ozzy62 I guess none of the Audiogoners here are able to address this good question, but Tarun, A British Audiophile, is one of the reviewers who closely traces the evolution of the Pontus and Venus DACs and could possibly offer some insights (se... | |
| Test @richardbrand A giant, stripped-naked human pyramid in a big, sensual dancing scene between two lovebirds from a biblical story doesn’t quite click. It might be a modern interpretation of a legendary opera - interesting. I do like the music, thou... | |
| ??? WHY WHY WHY ??? Class A vs Everything Else Try Accuphase A36, A48, A75 or A80 depending on your need. They run cooler than Pass Labs counterparts. | |
| Speakers for 2nd System! Immediately, I think of Volti Audio speakers—high sensitivity and capable of reaching down into the mid-30 Hz range. However, to me, they’re not that pretty. The next recommendation that comes to mind is the Buchardt E50 or the S400 II, which I ow... |
